During the first Republican debate, CNNs Jake Tapper asked Bobby Jindal about striking a balance between security vigilance and anti-Muslim discrimination, and Gov. Jindal answered:
Sure, I dont think a 14-year-old should ever be arrested for bringing a clock to school, so are you asking me am I glad he was released? I am glad the police were careful. I am glad the police were worried about safety and security issues. Look in America, we dont tolerate. Right now, the biggest discrimination thats going on is against Christian business owners and individuals who believe in traditional forms of marriage. Theyre throwing this woman in jail in Kentucky. Lets talk about that.
A 14-year-old Muslim student who was arrested for bringing a clock to school is no big deal. The real problem is Christian public officials who break the law being thrown in jail....
It is absurd to compare a public official who knowingly broke the law to a teenager who was discriminated against because he is a Muslim. Bobby Jindals answer was troubling because it showed how deeply ingrained discrimination is within the Republican Party.
